Catcher in the Rye - teenage angst at it's very best
Crime and Punishment - so intelligent and thought provoking
Carter beats the Devil - Clever, amusing and a very long good read
The Lucky Bones - Gripping, well written, couldn't put it down

my fav book has to be THE PERFECT VICTIM great true story, you cant put it down!
i have read it three times:thinking: or a light read like anything by MARY JANE STAPLES fiction about the eastend at war time.:thumbsup:

Read many of the ones listed on here (Catch 22 is extra-ordinary) but it really depends what kind of genre you like. One thriller writer who doesn't get mentioned very often these days is Alistair Maclean. HMS Ulysses is a classic and one that I've re-read many, many times. Most of the early to mid MacLeans are good - his later stuff was a bit pants though. I also recommend The Golden Rendevous (one of his best).
